Harris, 33, is leaving the Detroit Pistons after helping lead a franchise turnaround over the past two seasons. Now the productive veteran known for shotmaking and floor spacing in the frontcourt joins a young Western Conference contender after the Spurs and agent Torrel Harris of Unique Sports Management worked through a deal.
